Hi dolls! I’m slowly making my way through collections that were released earlier this year. Today I have photos for you of Cirque The Awakening collection. This set features five shades that are filled with shimmer and glass flecks. Cirque Gaia is described as an inky black with silver flakes. This shade is great for those who want to wear blackRead more…

Hey dolls! The theme for this week’s Twinsie Tuesday was minimalistic. At first I had no clue what this theme meant other than just a straight mani without any bells or whistles. Then I started to think about minimalistic in terms of clothing, which brought to mind monochromatic. I decided I wanted to do a ruffian mani, using two shadesRead more…

Hey dolls! I hope that you all have had an enjoyable weekend. The week of Zoya features is coming to an end with the collection I was most excited about, the Matte Velvets. This collection was first released and loved by many in 2009. The formula was the same on each polish. They were all extremely pigmented and applied effortlesslyRead more…

Hey dolls! I hope you all have been enjoying your weekend. This evening I have photos for you of the Mentality Red Mattes collection. This set consists of six matte shades filled with shimmer along the red spectrum. Each had the exact same formula; thick, but easily manageable, well pigmented, and opaque in two coats. As with all reds, IRead more…

Hey dolls! Today I have photos for you of some of the Mentality Greyscale Mattes. I previously reviewed several polishes from this collection here. The formula on each polish was exactly the same; well pigmented, applied easily, and was opaque in two coats. These polishes also dry relatively quickly and self-level quite nicely (mattes can sometimes leave brushstrokes). Mentality StormRead more…

Hey dolls! I finally got around to doing my post for the Busy Girl Nails Winter Nail Art Challenge this evening and I just love it. The theme for week 2 was “white”. I looked through my melmer to find my only untried white, Cult Nails Tempest. Tempest is an extremely pigmented white creme with a good formula. You couldRead more…

Hey dolls! It has been some kind of a roller coaster weekend with the RBL blogger contest taking place. I’ll have a full post on that tomorrow, so today’s post is all about the Mentality Grayscale Mattes collection. I keep saying how cool these ombre collections are and the Grayscale Mattes are no different. The formula was the same onRead more…

Hey dolls! This evening I have photos for you of the Mentality Pink Mattes collection. This is another ombre set and I just love it. The formula was great on each polish. They applied nicely and were opaque with two coats. I would recommend trying to apply the polishes as evenly as possible to avoid visible brushstrokes. Contessa is theRead more…

Hey dolls! Today I have two matte Mentality top coats to share with you. Mentality Suede is a silver shimmery matte top coat. It can be used over any base color to provide an extra boost of shimmer. Suede had a really good formula and covered the nail perfectly in one coat. It is shown over Mentality Sparkplug. Mentality MatteRead more…

Hey dolls! I’ve missed two weeks of Twinsie Tuesday themes and I’m glad to be back today. The theme for today is mish mosh, where we were supposed to use a different technique on each nail. I wanted to keep each nail relatively simple, so I started with two Mentality mattes. Ruffian is a bright blue matte filled with silverRead more…
